[Coren]

Haven't updated in a month so - here's a little gif I made!

[xxstrangesoulxx]

1. What do you think of the game so far?
Wow. This game is really good. I'm very interesting in seeing how things turn out. I like the characters and art.

2. Who are generally your favorite characters, and why?
My favorite character is Sho. Why? I find her to be such an intriguing character. She's crazy, cute, dangerous, and talented. I also like Layner. He's so random, and I like that. He's also cute.

3. What are some questions you want answered the most in the full game?

How does Chloe know Sho? Sho's childhood? Is Sho going to die? Is Kaison going to die? Who exactly is Layner? What's Chloe going to do? Pretty much anything and everything. xD

4. What do you predict are answers to these questions?
I have no idea. I'll wait for you to finish the game and find out.

5. Which characters do you find the most curious or interesting? (Can overlap with #1)
Sho and Layner. I'm also interested in Chole, Erik and that little girl who visits the temple.

6. What do you generally think of the story so far?
I liked it, nice story. Can't wait until you finish the game.

7. What particular scene(s) did you like in the demo?

The beginning with the fire and death, it was intense, I liked it. The church scene, where Kaison and Sho meet each other. I loved seeing Sho's crazy, sadistic side. I also liked the scene where you could give the little girl a name. I saw Coren and I was like, lol. Nice touch there yo. I was disappointed when I couldn't name her Coren though.

8. ... Pairings/Ships, do you have any?
Sho x Kaison are probably my main ship.

Thanks for the input strangesoul!

Anyway I realize I haven't been updating this thread much orz. Here's another CG:


My CR art is going too slowly arghhhhh. If anyone’s free to help me out with coloring that’ll be a great help cos I’m uber slow omg

Chugging away at a couple more sprites! Here’s Hiroki Kusanagi, the bodyguard of one of Shirley’s friends. He’s one of the few Japanese characters in this game.

He is also the father of azurextwilight's Miki Kusanagi, from her game RE:Set which is set a few decades after Crimson Rafflesia. Our games share the same universe dohohoho.

[Coren]

Kiku is a young, effeminate little boy who is frequently mistaken for a girl. Though seemingly polite and charming, he hides great insecurity from being an illegitimate child in a family that he perceives shuns him. His older brother is Mikasa's bodyguard, Kusanagi Hiroki.

Sho seems to have a link to him.

1. What do you think of the game so far?
It's great~ I loved the music. Everything was such doki doki as I would say it.

2. Who are generally your favourite characters, and why?
Sho, she's kawaii and well.... :v madmen have the best minds, the most interesting, and she's very deep and interesting seeming.... ah, I wanna know~
Chloe, she seems really like.... uh, I don't know, but also mysterious. There's that feeling of...kind of self-righteousness and... dark stuff?
Well, my words probably shouldn't be taken to the heart on the characters because I'm bad at explaining.

3. What are some questions you want answered the most in the full game?
Everything? The past.

4. What do you predict are answers to these questions?
I have no clue.

5. Which characters do you find the most curious or interesting? (Can overlap with #1)
Sho and Chloe.
But, Layner is pretty mysterious. I can't tell if he's retarded or acting retarded and actually something.... deep.

6. What do you generally think of the story so far?
It's great. Interesting~

7. What particular scene(s) did you like in the demo?
I'm not particularly sure, but I liked those black background with white text moments....da mind?

8. ... Pairings/Ships, do you have any?
Nopes, not really.

[Gospel]

Just finished the demo. It was surprisingly long. Unfortunately, not long enough...
Anyway, I'm going to answer your questionnaire, as well.

1. What do you think of the game so far?

It's really good.
Nice selection of music that never felt out of place. It always set the right mood.
I like the character sprites, although some characters might need a few additional poses/expressions. Especially Erik Faraday. He's burned into my memory as that guy that always got his hand inside his pocket and his eyes closed
I also loved how many CGs there were.

Oh, also... The part with the telephone shortly after Sho’s Temple visit... ya know, where you heard the phone sound and only had a black screen.
It lasted a little too long in my opinion. For a moment I wasn’t sure if it was going to continue or if the game was bugged. A couple of "... ... ..." during the black screen and silence might have helped.

2. Who are generally your favourite characters, and why?

My favorite character by far is Layner. He’s perfect. He’s the kinda character I absolutely love. Every scene with him was a lot of fun. He's such a weird guy.
Like Shinoki above me said, Layner seems like an idiot, but there certainly must be more to him, which makes him rather mysterious.

I also like Kaison a lot. He's a cool guy and it's easy to empathize with him.

Henry's also a funny, somewhat cute character. Which kinda surprised me.
He didn't seem that way in the beginning.

3. What are some questions you want answered the most in the full game?

My biggest question right now is: 'What the heck's Layner's deal?'
I'm really curious to learn more about him.
And I want to know the reason why Sho's the way she is. There definitely has to be more to it, despite her denying it multiple times.

4. What do you predict are answers to these questions?

I'm honestly not sure. I need a bit more time and maybe even give it another read to form my own theories.

5. Which characters do you find the most curious or interesting? (Can overlap with #1)

Well, again Layner for the reasons mentioned above.
I'm also curious about all the kids (Will, Chunquian and Larsen), and how all of them tie into the overall story.

6. What do you generally think of the story so far?

In the beginning, the story was a little confusing, and sometimes, due to the structure and flashbacks, made me feel like I was reading the sequel to another story and was therefore lacking a lot of information. However, the more I kept reading, the clearer a lot of things became.
At first the story seemed rather okay-ish, not bad, but not overly special, either.
During the last 1 1/2 hour, I got really hooked, though and I'm honestly sad the demo's over now. I'm really curious as to how the rest of the story will unfold, so I will definitely be keeping a close eye on this project.

7. What particular scene(s) did you like in the demo?

Basically every scene with Layner
Especially the first conversation between him and Sho. It was just so weird and random. I could never predict what that guy was going to say next. And all of his lines made me laugh so hard.
It really was hilarious.

Well, except for the part about Mikaela. That came quite surprising. I really loved the sudden, drastic change in atmosphere, though. That was handled extremely well.

Apart from that, I also really liked the intro scene, and

the part where the NLF attacked Faraday's building.

Both those scene were really tense and exciting.

8. ... Pairings/Ships, do you have any?

Sorry, but I'm not really into that kinda stuff/care much about it.

9. TAKE A RANDOM SCREENSHOT!
There you go. A random screenshot of a random man:

A question! Would anyone like it if I released a “special” Christmas demo that included the full paths for Sho and Erik but not anyone else’s yet?
